It appears that Wil Wright, the genius creator of the Sim games (Simcity, the Sims, etc.) is going to be on the Colbert Report! Spore is one of my most anticipated games in a long time. Hopefully, it will live up to the hype and the promises of procedural generation.
What once great websites are now the “Dead Malls” of the Internet, featuring only a GNC, a rundown Kaybee Toys and one of those Calendar Kiosks, plus a bunch of losers and kids vandalizing everything else?
In his movie, “The God Who Wasn’t There“, Brian confronts his old Christian-school principle… and points out the contradictions and hypocrisy of his beliefs. HERE is the clip.
Its very telling how the principle has to run in illogical circles in an effort to explain his teaching style… until he gets so frustrated trying to explain his nonsensical beliefs, that he kicks Brian out for asking for a straight answer..
Awesome! Finally, Scott Kurtz is pushing his comics and characters to the next level! It doesn’t look like its gonna suck, either. I can’t wait to see about 6 or 7 episodes into it, when the production has really hit its stride and the animators, actors and writers(?) have settled into a comfortable groove. I try to never judge a show on its first few episodes or even its first season. Star Trek: The Next Generation, any one? Go back and watch some first season episodes… why did we like that show?
As someone posted on the PvP site, “I hope it doesn’t go the way of CAD“. Personally, i don’t think that it will. Kurtz has a class, a quality about him, that no other web comic artist has.
Drove to Atlanta on Wednesday, then immediately drove to Knoxville. Had Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday, drove back to Atlanta on Friday. Once my Dad and I got back, we loaded up the bikes and went to the Silver Comet Trail and rode 22 miles in 1 hour, 36 minutes. Not bad. Had sushi for dinner and learned all about the new big-ass, LCD HD TVs at Best Buy. Saturday morning, we got up and drove to Alexander City to have Thanksgiving with my grandmother, aunt & uncle and their two wonderful little girls. Ate the best stuffing that i have ever tasted in my life. B33J met up with us there for a bit before Dad and I drove back to Atlanta, where he picked up Prey, before i got on the road and drove back to Warner Vegas.
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.
I’ll be heading out in a couple of hours, but i wanted to share this quote i found in a sig of a person on the WoW forums:
We are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. -S. Roberts
It made me feel better, just a little, about humanity.
Hopefully, i can retain that faith in humanity on the drive to Atlanta. I doubt it, but we’ll see just how bad the traffic is.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Be thankful for what you have… there is always someone with less.
I’ll be heading to Atlanta tomorrow to meet up with my Dad. From there, we’re going to Knoxville/Morristown for Thanksgiving and then back down south to Alabama to see my grandmother. I suspect that i’ll be back Saturday… but who knows? We’re also gonna sneak in a mountain bike trail in there at some point, too!
I’d rather be on the road with my Dad than sitting home alone for a few days.
Wow… Look like Michael Richards (Seinfeld’s Kramer) pulled a Mel Gibson on some black guys in his audience. I wonder if he’ll try to blame it on booze?
Here’s a video of it. Frankly, it was WORSE than i initially thought it was. I mean… its bad. He has a total meltdown on stage.

Wow… according to THIS site, atheists make up more of the world population than every religion except for Christianity and Islam!
he world’s 20 largest religions and their number of believers are:
I’ve added the Timeline page to the site. Its very rough at the moment, but i will fill in the gaps as time goes on.
I’m having a bit of trouble getting it formatted correctly… strangely, it looks better in IE than FireFox, at the moment. Just straight tabbed paragraphs didn’t work, so i put it all into a two column table. Oddly, the rows aren’t level with one another when viewing it in in FireFox. Well, in any case, the content is there!
